When God had formed this mighty plan. And made this world without a man, All things therein He said were good, For they proceeded from His word. The work was done, the foliage fair, And birds nnd insects filled the air, The waters, too, were filled wilh food, The mountains ladened for our good. The sun find nionn lit from on high, With heavenly brauty, filled the sky, The planets in their orbits roll, And fill the arch from pole to pule. Then last of all God made a p;iir, And p'auted His own image tin re, Adam first, then Eve, his mute, He placed within the g?r!'.n gate. Then unto Adam, God did ny, There's one command thou must obey, The luxuries at thy command, But on this tree, lay not thy bund. Jf thou cat fruit from cfT this tree, Thy race shall live in misery, And if my law, thou thus defy. Upon that day, thou sure shall die. To Eve, one day, thusSatan came, And unto her, he did proclaim, The Lord, to you, has told a lie, Thus wheu He said you two shall die. For on that tree there's excellent food, It lookcth fair and tasteth good, And if you eat it you shall bo As god's in time and eternity. Then Eve beguiled, put forth hor hand, Partook the fruit and gave her man, Adam cat the fruit from off the tree, And then came death and misery. Then they were in a doleful state, The sentence just, their crimes were great. Their eyes were opened and they see They're really in endless misery. No earthly thing, could then restore, God's sentence just, it must be borne, Then unto the Lord, they cry, Eather, have mercy from on high. The Savior heard the mournful plea, Then He was filled with sympathy. Then with the Lord ho thus did plced. I'll suffer for the dreadful deed. And then ne left the courts abeve, Entered this world, thus filled with bvc, Upon Himself, our sins He took, And at His death, the rocks were broken. Now lie's ascended up to Heaven, Our sins through Him can be forgiven, He fills the mediatorial seat, And thus the atone meat ig complete. Now through tho Savior we are freed, For He has borne the dreadful deed, And if on Him we will rely, He'll take us home beyond the sky. What consolation here we set, That freed from sin and misery, We all may through the Savior live, And bliss receive beyond the grave. Mrs. A. E. Spencer, Schciicvers, X. Y.

'Godfrey, old buy,' said Henry Clayton is he tilted back in his chair, and put his feet upon the mautlc pieco, 'whou is the wedding to be?' Whose wedding?' 'Miss Laura Somers, or Jenny, which ia it?' 'I dou't know, I am sure.' 'Now don't be mysterious, Godfrey; you know you area constant visitor, nnd all our set aro talking about the match. Dou't prcteud you have not selected one of the sisters.' 'How do you kuow either of them will have me?' 'Don't be absurd, old boy. You young handsome, talented, and with a large fortune, need not be over bashful. Come, be frank, which is the favorite sister? 'Well, frankly theti, I cannot tell you. I have visited the family for several months, as you know, but I cannot decide. Laura is certainly the handsomest, with her flashing black eyes and queenly manner; but Jenny seems, although the youngest to be the most womanly and useful of the two. Yet 1 cannot be sure of that. My entrance is the signed of cordial welcome and smiles, and let me call at what hour I will, they are-always well dressed, and apparently disengaged. To be sure I always in the moruing have to wait some time before Laura is visible.' 'Pop in unexpectedly and notice the internal economy.' 'How can 1? Acard on the door will put any lady on her cuard, or even the notice of a gentleman visitor.' 'Go there in disguise. As a washerwoman, for instance,' 'Good! I will!' 'Go there as a washerwoman?' cried Clayton. 'Not exactly, but I will obtain admit, tauce to a morning's privacy.' Laura and Jenny Somers were the only children of a widower, who, although in moderate circumstances, moved in very fashionable society. At the period of my short sketch, he was about to supply the lamented Mrs. Somers' place, after nearly tan years mourning, and, although a kind and indulgent parent, had no objections to his daughters' marriage, and indeed, Irid told them so. Laura, whoso high spirit resented the probable supremacy of a stepmother, had already selected Godfrey Horton as her future husband; and Jenny, who was younger nnd gentler in spirit, tried to conquer a carefully concealed pre ference for the same purpose. All his attentions were ascribed by her, to a brotherly regard, though evry act of kindness er courtesy touched her very heart. It was in the morning after a large ball and the sisters were in the breakfast room together. Laura, her glossy black hair pushed negligently off her face, with the rough tumbled braids of last evening's elaborate coiffure gathered closely into a oomb; wearing a solid wrapper, torn stock ings, and presented rather an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball-room belle, was lounging on a sofa, Jenny, in a neat morning drcss.withalarge gingham apron, 1 ttlc white collar, and her hair smoothly brushed iuto a neat knot, was washing the breakfast dishes. 'Thcro is an old man at the door with some artmcal flowers, said tne servant, opening the dining-room door, 'will you sco him?' 'No,' said Jenny. 'Yes,' cried Laura, send hiin up.' The servant departed to obey the lust order. In a few moments the old man came in. lie was poorly clad, with a coarse blue cloak, which was much too large for him His hair was white, and he wore a beard and mustache of the same snowy line. Making a low blow, he placed the large basket he carried on a table, and opened it. 'I have a bunch of blue flowers, here,' he said, taking them from the basket, that will just suit your golden hair, Miss and he held them before Jenny. 'It was my sister who wished to look at your flowers,' said Jenny quietly. 'Yes, bring them here,' was Laura's imperious command. The old man's eyes followed Jenny as tho washed, wiped, and put away the dishes, swept the room, and dusted it, f.nd then sat down beside Laura, who was still look ing over the basket. See Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will it not be lovely with a few dark leaves to wear with my new silk?' 'But,' whispered Jenny, 'you can't afford it just now.' 'Yes I can. Father gave me some money yesterday.' 'To pay the last dry goods bill.' Well lean have that carried to my private account.' 'Obi Laura, I hate to hear you talk of that private, account, It seems so much like choatinz rilhe.' 'Nonsense! It will stand till I am mar ried, and then I can easily save it out of my housekeeping money.' 'I should not wish to marry in debt,' laid Jenny. The podlar lookod carnost at the sisters.'You had better take this bunch, Miss,' he said to Jenny. 'If it ain't convenient to pay now, 1 will call sgaiu.' 'No I shall not take them.' 'I wish niy hair was light,' said Laura. I should like to wear blue. Godfrey Horton said last night, that forget-menots wcro his favorite flowers.' Jenny colored, and placed the bunch again in tho basket. 'Come, Laura decide. You are keeping one waiting whose time probably is valuable,' ami then passing a chair, she added, 'Re seated, sir, you looked tired.' 'I am tired, indeed,' was the reply. . 'I will tako tho scarlet bunch and these red camelias, and this white cluster,' said Laura. 'But, sister, you cannot afford it.' 'Yes, I cau. Godfrey Hortjn is rich.' The old man bit his lip. 'Think, said Jenny, iu a low tono, if you love him, how much it will grieve him if ho should discover this deceit. 'Nonsense! Well, I'll tell you how to remedy it. Lend me some muey out of the housekeeping funds.' So, thought the old man, she is housekeeper. Miss Laura always gave me to understand that that was her post.' 'Laura! Steal from my father 1' 'There don't preach.' 'Miss Jenny,' raid a servant, entering at that moment, 'the dinner has come.' Jenny left the room, and still turning over the gay flowers, while the old man pointed out their various beauties, his eye iu the meantime, ruuning over the distorted hair, shabby dress, and lasy position, whilst he mentally contrasted them with Jenny's neat attire. 'Not decided yet?' said Jenny returning after a short absence. 'No. Come here.' I can't, father has sent home a calf's head, and I am afraid to trust it entirely to Margaret. I mustsuperinteniTthe dinner, make a pudding, and the parlors must be dusted, and there is my white mulle to be finished.' 'Before I would be the drudge you are,' cried Laura. 'Drudge! nonsense? I have plenty of time for enjoyment, and father cannot have a comfortable house, if some one does not superintend these things. When 1 marry you may do it,' and she laughed merrily. 'As it 1 should not marry brst: said Laura. 'There, I have chosen all I want.' 'Shall I call again for the change?' said tho pedler 'I shall be happy to put the Misses Somers on my list of customers.' 'Yes, call again,' So the pedler took-up his basket, walk ed home, threw aside his wig, beard, and disguWc, and wrote an offer of his nand and heart to Miss Virginia Somers, which was accented. Laura Somers has two sources of pro found speculation : One is, why did God frey Horton propose to Jennv instead of ! . . 1.1.11 mer 1 lie other, 'I wonuer wny mat oia man never called to be paid for those exquisite flowers?' Amusing Things We Meet In Mankind.It is amusing to hear a gray-headed old man, who amarsed a fortune in his younger days by keeping a tippling shop, now say he would, had he the power, imprison any man on whose premises a drop ot the poison could be fonnd . It is amusing to hear an old deacon, who has the faculty to pile up up his wood for market, so that seven feet will measure a eord, propose to expel a young grocer from the church because he sold him thirty-ouo ounces of sugar for two pounds. It is amusing to hear a member of the church, who, in youth, sowed his wild oats by the bushel, propose that the church investigate the circumstances under which brother Jones calls on sister Smith so often, innocently forgetting all the while that "it takes a rogue to catch a reguo " It is amusing to hear a men who made his first ten thousand by a mere accident in speculation, now whine over the want of business tact in the young men of tho present day. It is amusing to hear a hardened politician, hose political conscience is so tough that you can make no impression whatever up on it with the sharpest axe of honor that can be fonnd, sigh with pious horror over the want of principle in those who oppose his political creed. ' It is amnsing to hear a man who has just brains enough t believe his wisdom and intelligence is actually needed to help society along, often prate about the weakness of woman's mind Yon can see at once how strong his own must he, but cannot help wishing he had little more power of discernment, that would enable him ' to sec himself as oth ers see bjm." A CUftptcr on Human Mure. A correspondent of the Blair oounty Pa.) II hig furnishes that paper with tho particulars of the following incident, of which he was nn eye witness. It occurred a few weeks ago, on tho line of the great internal improvements of that State. At the point onthis side of the mountain, where occured the transhipment of passengers from the West was moored a canal boat, waiting the arrival of tho train before starting on its way through to the East, The Captain of the boata tall sun-brown, rough, and sometimes profane, man -stood on his craft superintending the labors of his men, when the rars come in, and a dozen minutes after a party of a dozen gentlemen came along, nnd deliber ately Walked up to the captain and thiu addressed him. 'Sir, we wish to go East, but our further progerss to-day depends upon you. In the cars we have just left, there is a sick man whose presence is disagreeable. We have been appointed a committee by the passengers, to ask that you will deny this man a passage on your boat; if he goes, we romain, What say you? By this time others had come from the cars. "Gentlemen, said the captain, "I have heard tho passengers through yourcommit-tee. Has tho sick man any representatives here ? I wish to hear from both sides of the question." To this unexpeetcd interrogatory there was no answer; when, without a moment's pause, the captain crossed to the car, and. beheld a poor, emaciated, wornout crea ture, whose life was eaten up by the fell destroyed, consumption. The mau's head was bowed in his hands, and he was weeping. The captain advanced and spoke kindly to him. "Oh, sir," said the trembling invalid, looking up, his faeo lit up with hope and expectation "aro you the captain, and will you take me? The passengers shun me, and are so unkind. You see, bit, I am dying; but, oh! if I can live to sco my mother I shall die happy. She lives in Burlington, sir, and my journey is more than half performed. I am a poor printer, and the only child of her in whose arms I wrmld wish to die." "You shall go," said the bluff captain. with an oaih, "it l lose every passenger for the trip." By this time the whole crowd of passen gers were grouped around the boat, with their baggage piled on the tow-path, and they themselves waiting for the decision of the captain before engaging their passage. A moment more, and that decision was made known, us they beheld him come from the cars, with the sick man cradled iu his strong arms. Pushing directly through the crowd with his dying burdeu, he ordered a mattress to bo hid iu the choicest part of the cabin, where he laid the invalid wiih all .he care of a parent. Then scarcely deigning to cast a hook at the astouished crowd alougside, beuhoutcd loudly to his hands. "Push off the boat!" But a new feeling seemed to possess the amazed passengers that of shame and contrition at their inhumanity. With one common impulbe, each t-cized his baggage, and thou immediately walked ou board the boat. In a short time another committee rfas scat to the captain, asking his presence iu the cabin. He went, and from their midst there arose a white-haired man, who with tear drops in his eyes, cold that rough captain he had taught them a lesson that they felt humble before him, and they asked his forgiveness. It ffas a touching scene The fountain of true sympathy was broken up in the heart of nature, and the waters welled ud. chokine tho utterance of all F present. In an instant a purse was made up for the sick man, with a "God-speed" for his welfare. nonoriu? Parents. As a stranger went into the church-yard of a pretty village, he beheld three children at a newly made grave. A boy about ten years of age was engaged in placing plants of turf about it, while the girl, who appeared a year or two younger, held in her apron a few roots of wild flowers. 1 he third child, still younger was sitting on the grass, watching with tlionghtiul look the work of the other two. They wore pieces of crape on their straw hats, and few other signs of mourning, such as are sometimes worn by the poor who struggle between their poverty and their afflictions. The girl began by planting some of ber wild flowers around the head of the grave, when the stranger thus addressed them : "Whose grave is this, children, about which you are busily engaged? "Mother's grave, sir," said the boy. "Aad did jour father send yea to place these flowers around your mother's gra7e?" "No sir, father lies hereof too, and little Villieaod titter Jaoc." "Wheu did they die?" "Mother was buriud a fortnight yester day, sir, but father died last wiutor tkey a j tje lera "Then, who told you to do this!" 'Nobody, sir," replied the girl. "Thou v by do you do it?" They appeared at a loss for an answer; but thesmingc! looked so kindly at them that at length the oldest replied as the tear surfed to his oyes: 'Oh, wo love them, sir." "Theu you put thesegrass turfs and wild flowers where your paruuta are laid, because you love them?" "Yes, sir," they all eagerly replied.

Uulon Tlie Theory of Slavery. Let every citizen, especially all non- slaveholders, read carefully the following extract from the Cincinnati Enquirer a Copptrhfud paper" ; " The pruleetion of white men against slarcrff tloes not prucliratty consist in riu- C1PI.K, hut in 'icts. They will not, like negroes, consent to be reduced to a state of bondage. If we. had ouwiig us a race of our own color, with tht spirit, to submit, evpuble of htbor, but without ambition or enterprise, humble, docile and flexible, ilie.rt would be found no principle sufficiently po tent to stand in the wny of thiir enslave, inent. We would have our theories upon the subject as rational as those that. are founded upou the misbehavior of Ham, aud the maudlin immorality of his ex emplary parent. But the Eu,opeo-Ameri- cau will not be enslaved anv more than the nativo American. Ho would kick) against his bonds, become turbulent, incendiary and drhjurato. He would rise iu force upon his master, or overcome him by his superior intelligence. He would refuse to be coerced would combine for rebellion.'' "Now let ns take up the poiuts of this remarkable paragraph: There is no principle, no rule of right and wninfT, which keeps white men in this country out of slavery! It is simply a fact that trAiVe men are not slaves The rea son why whin men are not slaves is that you cannot enslave them; if you could do it, it would be exactly right ! Slavery is all right; but it is based not on justice but power; if you can enslave a man, do it! It would not be safe now to try to make slaves oftcin'te men; they would bo "turbulent aud desperate," and raise insurrections. But as soon as we can find a class of white men "Humble, docile and flexihlo," then "THERE WILL BE NO PRINCIPLE SUFFICIENTLY POTENT TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THEIR ENSLAVEMENT."We think that we can sco the eyes of the sturdy soldiers of Indiana, Ohio, II-linois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Michigun,PennNylvania, Iowa, aud Kansas. sparkle and glow with indignation, as they read this "Conservative" doctrine of the Cincinnati Enquirer the newspaper which a few months ago told the Ohio soldiers that their wives were turninc prostitutes while they were off fighting fjr the Union "What!" the men will ask, "aro the advocates of slavery so bold as this, that they do not hesitate to tell us that all which saves us from slavery is that we are not quite "h umble, flexiblc.and docile ' enough? Is that all the protection for our freedom: is that all the guarantee which our chil dren can have against slavery, with its whips, dungeons, fetters and debaucheries? Yes, it is even so. The "conservative" of Ohio proclaims it and other "Conservative organs reecho and applaud the words. Friends, in this contest against the slave oligarchy, you are fighting against a class which it seeking to enslave, not the negro only, but the white man. Every blow you strike at negro slavery, is a blow struck at the oligarchy which is preparing its toils and fetters, for the limbs of white men also. The priuciple md soul of slavery is the same, buth as regards the white and black race It is matter of force, ol vio lence.

Hero, then, i3 a capital fact which otir foreign maligners and southern prophets of evil fail to see. They do not sec that we iu this country are more than a simple government or )olity, that we are a gre:it. living and unitary society, which having seriously sc. itself to work to do justice to all its members, to organize itself in strict accordance with the tiindamcntal truth ol hnman brotherhood, is cordially appioved and upheld by all who bclnn" to it. Of courts, wo have dons onr woik as yet imperfectly; we are (-till struggling with the old diseases of the social system; we abound in vice and crimes; we give way to an accursed lust of gold; we indulge in hideous prejudices of raco and color; we listen "too willingly to the blandishments of political scamps, but, because we aro making so rand an attempt, bocause we acknowledge the rights of all men, endeavor to secure them by just laws, and open to mankind the amplest uses of the beneficences of Providence, we must wm the love of the hole people as we propitiate the blessing ol'tlod.

He had made up bnjmind to go to coiled. In what way it was to be accomplished, he knew uot; but be had resolved it should be donu. He told no one of hit resolutions, for he knew he would be laughed at. He began to study his Latin grammar. Not knowing what parts to learn, ha resolved ton.uke sure work of it by learning tlie whole. Every tpare moment he could get he gave to study.

When God had formed this mighty plan. And made this world without a man, All things therein He said were good, For they proceeded from His word. The work was done, the foliage fair, And birds nnd insects filled the air, The waters, too, were filled wilh food, The mountains ladened for our good. The sun find nionn lit from on high, With heavenly brauty, filled the sky, The planets in their orbits roll, And fill the arch from pole to pule. Then last of all God made a p;iir, And p'auted His own image tin re, Adam first, then Eve, his mute, He placed within the g?r!'.n gate. Then unto Adam, God did ny, There's one command thou must obey, The luxuries at thy command, But on this tree, lay not thy bund. Jf thou cat fruit from cfT this tree, Thy race shall live in misery, And if my law, thou thus defy. Upon that day, thou sure shall die. To Eve, one day, thusSatan came, And unto her, he did proclaim, The Lord, to you, has told a lie, Thus wheu He said you two shall die. For on that tree there's excellent food, It lookcth fair and tasteth good, And if you eat it you shall bo As god's in time and eternity. Then Eve beguiled, put forth hor hand, Partook the fruit and gave her man, Adam cat the fruit from off the tree, And then came death and misery. Then they were in a doleful state, The sentence just, their crimes were great. Their eyes were opened and they see They're really in endless misery. No earthly thing, could then restore, God's sentence just, it must be borne, Then unto the Lord, they cry, Eather, have mercy from on high. The Savior heard the mournful plea, Then He was filled with sympathy. Then with the Lord ho thus did plced. I'll suffer for the dreadful deed. And then ne left the courts abeve, Entered this world, thus filled with bvc, Upon Himself, our sins He took, And at His death, the rocks were broken. Now lie's ascended up to Heaven, Our sins through Him can be forgiven, He fills the mediatorial seat, And thus the atone meat ig complete. Now through tho Savior we are freed, For He has borne the dreadful deed, And if on Him we will rely, He'll take us home beyond the sky. What consolation here we set, That freed from sin and misery, We all may through the Savior live, And bliss receive beyond the grave. Mrs. A. E. Spencer, Schciicvers, X. Y.

'Godfrey, old buy,' said Henry Clayton is he tilted back in his chair, and put his feet upon the mautlc pieco, 'whou is the wedding to be?' Whose wedding?' 'Miss Laura Somers, or Jenny, which ia it?' 'I dou't know, I am sure.' 'Now don't be mysterious, Godfrey; you know you area constant visitor, nnd all our set aro talking about the match. Dou't prcteud you have not selected one of the sisters.' 'How do you kuow either of them will have me?' 'Don't be absurd, old boy. You young handsome, talented, and with a large fortune, need not be over bashful. Come, be frank, which is the favorite sister? 'Well, frankly theti, I cannot tell you. I have visited the family for several months, as you know, but I cannot decide. Laura is certainly the handsomest, with her flashing black eyes and queenly manner; but Jenny seems, although the youngest to be the most womanly and useful of the two. Yet 1 cannot be sure of that. My entrance is the signed of cordial welcome and smiles, and let me call at what hour I will, they are-always well dressed, and apparently disengaged. To be sure I always in the moruing have to wait some time before Laura is visible.' 'Pop in unexpectedly and notice the internal economy.' 'How can 1? Acard on the door will put any lady on her cuard, or even the notice of a gentleman visitor.' 'Go there in disguise. As a washerwoman, for instance,' 'Good! I will!' 'Go there as a washerwoman?' cried Clayton. 'Not exactly, but I will obtain admit, tauce to a morning's privacy.' Laura and Jenny Somers were the only children of a widower, who, although in moderate circumstances, moved in very fashionable society. At the period of my short sketch, he was about to supply the lamented Mrs. Somers' place, after nearly tan years mourning, and, although a kind and indulgent parent, had no objections to his daughters' marriage, and indeed, Irid told them so. Laura, whoso high spirit resented the probable supremacy of a stepmother, had already selected Godfrey Horton as her future husband; and Jenny, who was younger nnd gentler in spirit, tried to conquer a carefully concealed pre ference for the same purpose. All his attentions were ascribed by her, to a brotherly regard, though evry act of kindness er courtesy touched her very heart. It was in the morning after a large ball and the sisters were in the breakfast room together. Laura, her glossy black hair pushed negligently off her face, with the rough tumbled braids of last evening's elaborate coiffure gathered closely into a oomb; wearing a solid wrapper, torn stock ings, and presented rather an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball-room belle, was lounging on a sofa, Jenny, in a neat morning drcss.withalarge gingham apron, 1 ttlc white collar, and her hair smoothly brushed iuto a neat knot, was washing the breakfast dishes. 'Thcro is an old man at the door with some artmcal flowers, said tne servant, opening the dining-room door, 'will you sco him?' 'No,' said Jenny. 'Yes,' cried Laura, send hiin up.' The servant departed to obey the lust order. In a few moments the old man came in. lie was poorly clad, with a coarse blue cloak, which was much too large for him His hair was white, and he wore a beard and mustache of the same snowy line. Making a low blow, he placed the large basket he carried on a table, and opened it. 'I have a bunch of blue flowers, here,' he said, taking them from the basket, that will just suit your golden hair, Miss and he held them before Jenny. 'It was my sister who wished to look at your flowers,' said Jenny quietly. 'Yes, bring them here,' was Laura's imperious command. The old man's eyes followed Jenny as tho washed, wiped, and put away the dishes, swept the room, and dusted it, f.nd then sat down beside Laura, who was still look ing over the basket. See Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will it not be lovely with a few dark leaves to wear with my new silk?' 'But,' whispered Jenny, 'you can't afford it just now.' 'Yes I can. Father gave me some money yesterday.' 'To pay the last dry goods bill.' Well lean have that carried to my private account.' 'Obi Laura, I hate to hear you talk of that private, account, It seems so much like choatinz rilhe.' 'Nonsense! It will stand till I am mar ried, and then I can easily save it out of my housekeeping money.' 'I should not wish to marry in debt,' laid Jenny. The podlar lookod carnost at the sisters.'You had better take this bunch, Miss,' he said to Jenny. 'If it ain't convenient to pay now, 1 will call sgaiu.' 'No I shall not take them.' 'I wish niy hair was light,' said Laura. I should like to wear blue. Godfrey Horton said last night, that forget-menots wcro his favorite flowers.' Jenny colored, and placed the bunch again in tho basket. 'Come, Laura decide. You are keeping one waiting whose time probably is valuable,' ami then passing a chair, she added, 'Re seated, sir, you looked tired.' 'I am tired, indeed,' was the reply. . 'I will tako tho scarlet bunch and these red camelias, and this white cluster,' said Laura. 'But, sister, you cannot afford it.' 'Yes, I cau. Godfrey Hortjn is rich.' The old man bit his lip. 'Think, said Jenny, iu a low tono, if you love him, how much it will grieve him if ho should discover this deceit. 'Nonsense! Well, I'll tell you how to remedy it. Lend me some muey out of the housekeeping funds.' So, thought the old man, she is housekeeper. Miss Laura always gave me to understand that that was her post.' 'Laura! Steal from my father 1' 'There don't preach.' 'Miss Jenny,' raid a servant, entering at that moment, 'the dinner has come.' Jenny left the room, and still turning over the gay flowers, while the old man pointed out their various beauties, his eye iu the meantime, ruuning over the distorted hair, shabby dress, and lasy position, whilst he mentally contrasted them with Jenny's neat attire. 'Not decided yet?' said Jenny returning after a short absence. 'No. Come here.' I can't, father has sent home a calf's head, and I am afraid to trust it entirely to Margaret. I mustsuperinteniTthe dinner, make a pudding, and the parlors must be dusted, and there is my white mulle to be finished.' 'Before I would be the drudge you are,' cried Laura. 'Drudge! nonsense? I have plenty of time for enjoyment, and father cannot have a comfortable house, if some one does not superintend these things. When 1 marry you may do it,' and she laughed merrily. 'As it 1 should not marry brst: said Laura. 'There, I have chosen all I want.' 'Shall I call again for the change?' said tho pedler 'I shall be happy to put the Misses Somers on my list of customers.' 'Yes, call again,' So the pedler took-up his basket, walk ed home, threw aside his wig, beard, and disguWc, and wrote an offer of his nand and heart to Miss Virginia Somers, which was accented. Laura Somers has two sources of pro found speculation : One is, why did God frey Horton propose to Jennv instead of ! . . 1.1.11 mer 1 lie other, 'I wonuer wny mat oia man never called to be paid for those exquisite flowers?'

It is amusing to hear an old deacon, who has the faculty to pile up up his wood for market, so that seven feet will measure a eord, propose to expel a young grocer from the church because he sold him thirty-ouo ounces of sugar for two pounds. It is amusing to hear a member of the church, who, in youth, sowed his wild oats by the bushel, propose that the church investigate the circumstances under which brother Jones calls on sister Smith so often, innocently forgetting all the while that "it takes a rogue to catch a reguo " It is amusing to hear a men who made his first ten thousand by a mere accident in speculation, now whine over the want of business tact in the young men of tho present day. It is amusing to hear a hardened politician, hose political conscience is so tough that you can make no impression whatever up on it with the sharpest axe of honor that can be fonnd, sigh with pious horror over the want of principle in those who oppose his political creed. ' It is amnsing to hear a man who has just brains enough t believe his wisdom and intelligence is actually needed to help society along, often prate about the weakness of woman's mind Yon can see at once how strong his own must he, but cannot help wishing he had little more power of discernment, that would enable him ' to sec himself as oth ers see bjm." A CUftptcr on Human Mure. A correspondent of the Blair oounty Pa.) II hig furnishes that paper with tho particulars of the following incident, of which he was nn eye witness. It occurred a few weeks ago, on tho line of the great internal improvements of that State. At the point onthis side of the mountain, where occured the transhipment of passengers from the West was moored a canal boat, waiting the arrival of tho train before starting on its way through to the East, The Captain of the boata tall sun-brown, rough, and sometimes profane, man -stood on his craft superintending the labors of his men, when the rars come in, and a dozen minutes after a party of a dozen gentlemen came along, nnd deliber ately Walked up to the captain and thiu addressed him. 'Sir, we wish to go East, but our further progerss to-day depends upon you. In the cars we have just left, there is a sick man whose presence is disagreeable. We have been appointed a committee by the passengers, to ask that you will deny this man a passage on your boat; if he goes, we romain, What say you? By this time others had come from the cars. "Gentlemen, said the captain, "I have heard tho passengers through yourcommit-tee. Has tho sick man any representatives here ? I wish to hear from both sides of the question." To this unexpeetcd interrogatory there was no answer; when, without a moment's pause, the captain crossed to the car, and. beheld a poor, emaciated, wornout crea ture, whose life was eaten up by the fell destroyed, consumption. The mau's head was bowed in his hands, and he was weeping. The captain advanced and spoke kindly to him. "Oh, sir," said the trembling invalid, looking up, his faeo lit up with hope and expectation "aro you the captain, and will you take me? The passengers shun me, and are so unkind. You see, bit, I am dying; but, oh! if I can live to sco my mother I shall die happy. She lives in Burlington, sir, and my journey is more than half performed. I am a poor printer, and the only child of her in whose arms I wrmld wish to die." "You shall go," said the bluff captain. with an oaih, "it l lose every passenger for the trip." By this time the whole crowd of passen gers were grouped around the boat, with their baggage piled on the tow-path, and they themselves waiting for the decision of the captain before engaging their passage. A moment more, and that decision was made known, us they beheld him come from the cars, with the sick man cradled iu his strong arms. Pushing directly through the crowd with his dying burdeu, he ordered a mattress to bo hid iu the choicest part of the cabin, where he laid the invalid wiih all .he care of a parent. Then scarcely deigning to cast a hook at the astouished crowd alougside, beuhoutcd loudly to his hands. "Push off the boat!" But a new feeling seemed to possess the amazed passengers that of shame and contrition at their inhumanity. With one common impulbe, each t-cized his baggage, and thou immediately walked ou board the boat. In a short time another committee rfas scat to the captain, asking his presence iu the cabin. He went, and from their midst there arose a white-haired man, who with tear drops in his eyes, cold that rough captain he had taught them a lesson that they felt humble before him, and they asked his forgiveness. It ffas a touching scene The fountain of true sympathy was broken up in the heart of nature, and the waters welled ud. chokine tho utterance of all F present. In an instant a purse was made up for the sick man, with a "God-speed" for his welfare. nonoriu? Parents. As a stranger went into the church-yard of a pretty village, he beheld three children at a newly made grave. A boy about ten years of age was engaged in placing plants of turf about it, while the girl, who appeared a year or two younger, held in her apron a few roots of wild flowers. 1 he third child, still younger was sitting on the grass, watching with tlionghtiul look the work of the other two. They wore pieces of crape on their straw hats, and few other signs of mourning, such as are sometimes worn by the poor who struggle between their poverty and their afflictions. The girl began by planting some of ber wild flowers around the head of the grave, when the stranger thus addressed them : "Whose grave is this, children, about which you are busily engaged? "Mother's grave, sir," said the boy. "Aad did jour father send yea to place these flowers around your mother's gra7e?" "No sir, father lies hereof too, and little Villieaod titter Jaoc." "Wheu did they die?" "Mother was buriud a fortnight yester day, sir, but father died last wiutor tkey a j tje lera "Then, who told you to do this!" 'Nobody, sir," replied the girl. "Thou v by do you do it?" They appeared at a loss for an answer; but thesmingc! looked so kindly at them that at length the oldest replied as the tear surfed to his oyes: 'Oh, wo love them, sir." "Theu you put thesegrass turfs and wild flowers where your paruuta are laid, because you love them?" "Yes, sir," they all eagerly replied.

Uulon Tlie Theory of Slavery. Let every citizen, especially all non- slaveholders, read carefully the following extract from the Cincinnati Enquirer a Copptrhfud paper" ; " The pruleetion of white men against slarcrff tloes not prucliratty consist in riu- C1PI.K, hut in 'icts. They will not, like negroes, consent to be reduced to a state of bondage. If we. had ouwiig us a race of our own color, with tht spirit, to submit, evpuble of htbor, but without ambition or enterprise, humble, docile and flexible, ilie.rt would be found no principle sufficiently po tent to stand in the wny of thiir enslave, inent. We would have our theories upon the subject as rational as those that. are founded upou the misbehavior of Ham, aud the maudlin immorality of his ex emplary parent. But the Eu,opeo-Ameri- cau will not be enslaved anv more than the nativo American. Ho would kick) against his bonds, become turbulent, incendiary and drhjurato. He would rise iu force upon his master, or overcome him by his superior intelligence. He would refuse to be coerced would combine for rebellion.'' "Now let ns take up the poiuts of this remarkable paragraph: There is no principle, no rule of right and wninfT, which keeps white men in this country out of slavery! It is simply a fact that trAiVe men are not slaves The rea son why whin men are not slaves is that you cannot enslave them; if you could do it, it would be exactly right ! Slavery is all right; but it is based not on justice but power; if you can enslave a man, do it! It would not be safe now to try to make slaves oftcin'te men; they would bo "turbulent aud desperate," and raise insurrections. But as soon as we can find a class of white men "Humble, docile and flexihlo," then "THERE WILL BE NO PRINCIPLE SUFFICIENTLY POTENT TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THEIR ENSLAVEMENT."We think that we can sco the eyes of the sturdy soldiers of Indiana, Ohio, II-linois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota.

Is that all the protection for our freedom: is that all the guarantee which our chil dren can have against slavery, with its whips, dungeons, fetters and debaucheries? Yes, it is even so. The "conservative" of Ohio proclaims it and other "Conservative organs reecho and applaud the words. Friends, in this contest against the slave oligarchy, you are fighting against a class which it seeking to enslave, not the negro only, but the white man. Every blow you strike at negro slavery, is a blow struck at the oligarchy which is preparing its toils and fetters, for the limbs of white men also. The priuciple md soul of slavery is the same, buth as regards the white and black race It is matter of force, ol vio lence.
